Metallic Oil

Item

Image
Description	This canister is filled to the brim with a silvery substance extracted from fish. It looks a lot like mercury, but if it is mercury, anyone who ate those fish should be dead by now. Probably the best part is watching it get exposed to water. Drops of water will curl up into perfect spheres on top of the oil and pools of water will break up into dozens of racing droplets, which is surprisingly fun to watch. It'd probably be great for a kid's chemistry experiment, assuming it isn't as toxic as it looks.
